In these troubling times, the soul cries out for a bit of spirituality. Stepping up to the alter to deliver a stirring sermon is gospel soul guru Greg Belson, whose exultant new Divine Disco compilation on Cultures Of Soul digs deep into a decade of the most righteous music in US history.

Rip-roaring choral arrangements and huge piano riffs over a pounding 4/4 beat, these foot-stomping invocations were huge hits on Saturday night dancefloors and in Sunday morning church halls alike, delivering stirring messages of peace, love and redemption in a language young people could get behind. Hearing Joubert Singers’ ‘Stand On The Word’ at Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage was simply one of the most spiritual experiences you could have.

Over this uplifting seventy-minute mix, Belson belts his way through nineteen seriously soulful disco cuts, many of which appear on the Divine Disco compilation, that will cleanse your soul and send you flying, right through to the Southern Baptist Combined Choirs’ epic cover of Sister Sledge’s ‘We Are Family’. Praise the lord!
